The US elections finally came to an end. After long months of presidential campaign the Americans decided that they want a radical change. After 8 years of Republican supremacy, the Democrates managed to return in full glory. First they secured majority in the US Senate and now their candidate - Barrack Obama became the 44th US president. The election itself was typically American. The knowledge and experience of the candidate as well as his readiness to face such challenge was the least important factor for the nation. It appears that the true intention of the Amerian citizens was to punish the Republicans for the gehenna of George Bush's leadership. Therefore, in my opinion Obama was very lucky to find himself in the middle of common dissatisfaction but he was also very wise to use it effectively in his campaign. The slogan of CHANGE worn by Barrack almost like a coat was a masterpiece of PR and the triumph of political marketing on the biggest scale imaginable. Let's only hope that this new media star will be as successful in his policy as he turned out to be in charming the society for the last two years. After all, is a man who cannot remember a few simple words of the presidential oath able to lead the world's most influential country in time of a huge economic crisis ? I regret to say but I seriously doubt it.
